It’s sad, you know,Watching someone you loveWandering so,Seeming to go nowhere. Each day’s noDifferent from the other.It’s the same old, same oldDay after day after day. No purpose or directionSeems to be found.Just existing,Putting in their time. Sleep, awake, eat, play.What you going to do today?Same old, same old.Not much new. Same old patternsCome into … Continue reading It’s Sad

The verses marked, and dated, too,For it’s been read now through and through.It’s filled with hope and joy and peace,For from our sins it gives release. It teaches us … Continue reading My Well Used Book

Life Before Santa
‘Twas the life before Santa,And all through the church,They were praising their Lord,And His righteousness searched. The bells that were ringingWere calling for prayer.They were calling on GodTo His righteousness wear. Confessing their sins,Thus, they humbly did bow.Forsaking their idols,Life with Christ, did avow. In holiness now,They were walking with care,They were following Jesus,Who their … Continue reading Life Before Santa

Talk, Talk, Talk
Talk, talk, talk –When you going to walk?Baby in a crib –All you do is fib. Idle talk you give.To Him you don’t live.Misinterpreting Him,So that you can sin. You know what is true.To Him, you know what’s due.Don’t pretend you don’t,Just because you won’t. Actors in a hall,Saying “Let’s play ball!”To you, it’s all … Continue reading Talk, Talk, Talk

A Friend is a Friend Until
A friend is a friend until he isn’t,Until he cuts into your heart an incision,Until he murders you in mind, and in his soul,Until he leaves you brokenhearted, and not whole.
